Why would the nurse implement seizure precautions in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)? The patient may be at risk for seizures because:
1. Potassium shifts may cause cerebral ischemia.
2. Intracellular fluid shifts may cause cerebral edema.
3. High blood glucose levels overstimulate brain cells.
4. Drugs used to treat the DKA have a side effect of seizures.
